Hi @chrisk55253535,Thanks for letting me know.Selecting Allow non-admins to update and install apps allows users to install and update apps even if they do not have administrative privileges on their computer. Please note that the Allow non-admins to update and install apps option is only available if you choose the Enable self-service install option.However, if you choose this option, your end users need to go to the Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) app and turn on auto-update and automatically update your Creative Cloud apps option. Check this doc for details: https://adobe.ly/4niABjhPlease note: If you are installing the Creative Cloud Desktop app for the first time, apps are set to update automatically by default.For your next question:Will Adobe updater force update apps after x number of days? You can create self-service policies that control the applications your users can install and update. With Adobe enterprise controls, auto-updates for Creative Cloud apps on non-admin accounts depend on two settings: the organization must allow auto-update via self-service policies, and the user’s Creative Cloud Desktop app must have auto-update turned on.Once configured, you can choose to:Automatically update all applicationsMake updates available 30 days after releaseEnable the "show older apps" option in the Creative Cloud Desktop appCheck this doc for more: https://adobe.ly/47olC2xFor your other question:To track updates on user devices across Windows and macOS, you can use Adobe policies with endpoint reporting tools (for example, Intune device/app inventory) to audit installed versions and update status across your organization.Hope this helps.

Hi @chrisk55253535,Thanks for reaching out. Upon checking, you have an active Teams license associated with the Adobe ID used to post this query. Could you please confirm whether the users are installing the Creative Cloud Desktop app from the Microsoft Store using their non-admin accounts, or if the apps were installed on these machines using an admin account?Generally, updating apps still requires permission to modify program files. Users without administrative rights cannot perform these updates automatically. Additionally, your organization may have blocked automatic Store app updates via Group Policy (“Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates”).To address this issue for users without admin rights, we recommend creating a managed package from the Adobe Admin Console and enabling the “Allow non-admins to update and install apps” setting. This option allows users to install and update apps even if they do not have administrative privileges on their computers. Once the package is created, you can deploy it to your end users’ machines.Please refer to this guide: https://adobe.ly/4p6tjAJHope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.
